LET'S GO TO THE FAIR MEME

It's time to go to the fair! Food, rides, games, historical reenactments, the choices are endless! Go with your friends, your family, or if you're feeling romantic, go with a date! Don't run out of tickets.

LOCATIONS

1. COUNTY/STATE FAIR From the hokey to the bright and brilliant, you've been waiting for this all year! Are those rides up to code? Can you find the perfect fair food? Damn, those churros look good.
2. REN/PIRATE FAIRE Is something a little older your style? Try out a Renaissance or a pirate faire! You can dress up like the times or just be a civilian passing through. Mead, turkey legs, butt grabbing...
3. AMUSEMENT PARK Screw fairs, you want to go to Disneyland! Or Legoland, or Universal Studios... Whatever, you just want to go to the REAL THING. Elitest. You're not better than us.
4. HAUNTED CARNIVAL You thought this was a normal fair, but something seems... off. Are the ghosts fake or are they real? Does that guy have fangs? What the hell is this, Scooby Doo?
5. MUSIC FESTIVAL Who needs fairs when you can go to a venue and pay $40 for a t-shirt and watch thirty bands in one day and get heat exhaustion while drinking cheap beer? That's what we thought.
6. HOLIDAY FAIR It's Halloween! Or Christmas! You want to see pumpkin carving! Or Santa Claus! Whatever, man. You just like holidays.

SCENARIOS

1. RIDES The Tilt-a-Whirl costs how many tickets? This had better be worth it.
2. FOOD Holy shit, you have to try this chocolate covered, deep-fried ice cream! We'll stand by with some paddles.
3. EXHIBITS You want to look at photography? Art? Some kid's ode to his dog made of popsicle sticks? Let's go for it.
4. ANIMALS Are those tiny pigs wearing JACKETS and running a RACE? We have to go right now. Alternatively, pay to see the world's biggest live alligator. Her name is Susy.
5. GAMES You really want to win that giant unicorn but for some reason, the pins won't fall over even when you hit them dead-center. Is this rigged?
6. ROMANCE Whether it's the tunnel of love, jousting for someone's hand, or just sitting around sharing a dessert, we've got you covered on the date front.
7. MASCOTS Maybe you want to meet Mickey. Or Santa. Or, I don't know, whatever the hell that dude over there in a suit is. Careful though, a lot of times little kids can be real scared.
8. CONTESTS Baking contest? Are there funny notes in the grading cards for some of them? Maybe you want to look at how some nerd set a table. Check them out, try to steal one of the blue ribbons, whatever.
9. SHOPPING Everything here is SO COOL. Did you see that light up headband? That shirt with an emoji on it? Seriously, what will they think of next? Just don't get swindled out of your money!
10. CONCERTS This is it, this is the good stuff. You wanted some music and now you've got it; what kind of music is your jam? Will you be sitting comfortably or are you going to meet someone in the pit?

If your scenario doesn't match the location, make something up or pick a different one, we won't tell! As always, these are just suggestions. Make up anything you want, as long as you're having fun!

[standing up on the roller coaster! cheating on the rigged games! jamming out to some tunes! doing the scooby-doo door gag! always being inappropriate on the garfield ride!!! down for pretty much anything.]

I’ll do you one better: PAINTBALL GUNS on a roller coaster. It’s a sport I invented all by myself with my buddy Keith’s help.

Call it Loops ‘n’ Shoots.

That’s trademarked, but you can go ahead and use it.

Damn, dude, that sounds super irresponsible. That RULES. How many points do you get if you drop your gun on someone's head?

None, buddy! You lose points! Whole point is to shoot the shit outta each other til’ you’re all covered with the rainbow.

Can’t do that without a gun.

Extreme gun holding! You could really get some mileage with one of those racing roller coasters, but you might have to lower the point values. Too easy.

Man, are we just gonna stand around talkin’ ‘bout guns, or are we actually gonna go shoot somethin’?

‘Cause I’m ready. Locked and loaded. Which one you want? Pink or blue?

( of course el brought guns to a fair. why wouldn’t he. )

Ooh! Dibs on pink!

[He makes grabby hands for the gun. There's nothing quite like lax security to make things easy, although he does take a casual glance around to check if there's any security cameras he should be taking care of.]

They're so going to have to make a warning sign about this.
